Titan 0153165 Viscosity Cup

Titan 0153165 Viscosity Cup

Sourced From:
Titan Tools Inc.

 

 

Titan part 0153165 is a viscosity cup used to measure the viscosity of coatings and paints to ensure proper spraying consistency on compatible SprayTech equipment. When the original cup becomes damaged, worn, or inaccurate, it can lead to incorrect viscosity readings and poor finish quality. This cup restores accurate measurement capability for professional finishing results.

Viscosity Cup for SprayTech CS 55 and HVLP Maxum II

The Titan part 0153165 Viscosity Cup is a precision measurement tool designed for use with SprayTech CS 55 and HVLP Maxum II spray equipment. This cup allows operators to accurately measure the viscosity of paints, coatings, and finishes to ensure they are properly thinned for optimal spray performance and finish quality.

Proper viscosity is essential for achieving professional finish results. Material that is too thick can cause poor atomization, orange peel texture, and tip clogging, while material that is too thin may result in runs, sags, and inadequate coverage. This viscosity cup provides the accurate measurements needed to achieve consistent, high-quality results.

Measurement Insight: Viscosity is typically measured as the time in seconds required for a fixed volume of material to flow through the precision orifice at the bottom of the cup. Always follow the material manufacturer's recommended viscosity range for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

To use the viscosity cup: 1) Ensure the cup is clean and dry, 2) Fully submerge the cup in the material to be tested, 3) Lift it out and start timing immediately, 4) Stop timing when the stream of material first breaks (stops flowing continuously), 5) Record the time in seconds. Compare this time to the material manufacturer's recommended viscosity range. Always perform tests at standard temperature (typically 70°F/21°C) for accurate results.

The 0153165 viscosity cup features a precision-machined orifice specifically sized for use with SprayTech CS 55 and HVLP Maxum II equipment. The exact orifice size corresponds to the viscosity range typically encountered with these systems. For detailed specifications, consult your SprayTech equipment manual or contact an authorized dealer.

Clean the cup immediately after each use with an appropriate solvent for the material tested. Use soft brushes to clean the cup interior and orifice—never use metal tools that could damage the precision orifice. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Store in a clean, protected location. Regular inspection for damage ensures accurate measurements.

Proper viscosity is critical for achieving professional finish quality. Material that is too thick will not atomize properly, causing orange peel texture, poor flow-out, and tip clogging. Material that is too thin may run, sag, or fail to provide adequate coverage. Using a viscosity cup ensures your material is within the manufacturer's recommended range, resulting in consistent, high-quality finishes with fewer defects.
